Jay Leno Restored Craig Ferguson’s Gifted 1968 Ford Bronco | CNBC Prime

I think this is one of the greatest Resto/mods ever done on Jay's show. I love the minimalism and shape of the car and how spartan and simple it is. And what a monster it is under the hood. Overkill for sure.

[@mrcarlo1966]

That 50+ year old truck is cooler than most vehicles on the market today.

[@sparky6086]

Funny, the 1st gen of the Bronco was made until 1977, and back then, I, my friends, & everyone knew it was special and lamented the fact, that Ford went to an F150 platform for the Bronco in 1978. It was good for what it was in it's own right, but this 1st gen Bronco had the intangible "IT", which makes things cool. The 1st generation Bronco was cool and continues to be cool!

[@NellisNelson]

mrcarlo1966 including the new gt500 because 3 pedals and a lever!

[@mikeb3172]

The car industry can't make really good cars because people will just keep them and not buy the next one. Should really be rolling chassis/engine makers, and exterior designers seperate businesses.

[@branon6565]

@@PedroKing99 Maybe "most folks" need to get over that attitude. My last supervisor, before I retired, was the woman who supervised the truck crew at the local FedEx terminal. We had about 8 Peterbilt tractors and pulled FedEx double trailers every night to the long-haul terminals about 150 miles away. She was as good or better than any other driver in the yard. Seeing her pick up the tongue of a 1,200lb dolly used to connect a set of doubles, and then run that thing across the terminal yard like shopping cart, shut up a lot of young drivers. Nobody messed with the boss! She wasn't pushy about her skills; she just managed her responsibilities like most other successful managers would. She just happened to be a very skilled woman, coincidently. You can't tell by looking...

Boy does this bring back memories! But probably not the memories you're thinkin'… There is even a slight chance I may have parked in that very parking space at NBC - I had the good fortune and honor of doing semi-regular voiceovers for the Tonight Show with Jay Leno (mostly character voices, when they would need them, from about 2000 through 2007) and always enjoyed driving to Burbank to do the work in the studio. Occasionally I would have to park in one of those very spaces (although I don't think I parked in 530🙂).

@@brian5o I know what you mean. A friend of mine won a brand new 66 Mustang in a contest. It was a convertible and had the straight 6 in it. It wasn't very fast but for a couple of 16 year old kids it seemed like the coolest car on earth.

Yup. Never even needed a key in the old days. Just bring your own ignition switch with your own key. Unplug the original, plug yours in and drive away.

What about the suspension and differentials that's in there how does it hold all the power?

[@172-e5s]

Notice the guy didn't even respond when Jay asked about the transfer case. Bet it's just a 2 wheel drive now. No stock parts could handle 7 times the original power.

[@jonnda]

Hankorama either they custom engineered new parts (a real possibility with no budgetary concerns), they modified another much more modern car’s suspension and drive gear to fit the bronco’s body (because that’s what Icon likes to do), or it is as you think it is. Either way, the frame on this bronco is not the one that it left the factory with. Look at Icon’s other builds. They have a youtube channel.

[@testarossagzb5582]
